Rules Q&A
Oketra's Monument
Legendary Artifact
White creature spells you cast cost less to cast.
Whenever you cast a creature spell, create a 1/1 white Warrior creature token with vigilance.
SaberTech on Ideas for an Ayli, Eternal …
1 month ago
I kind of see Ayli as more of a control oriented commander when compared to other potential WB aristocrats style commander options, although the need to gain life and have creatures to sac to her ability does cause a lot of overlap.
The first real hurdle is getting up to 50+ life. Running Ayli means that you opponents have even more reason to default to attacking you so that they can to keep you from using Ayli's removal ability. While being able to pick up life off of Blood Artist and extort type effects is useful, I think that it's worth finding ways to get big swings in life too. Tree of Perdition is one that comes to mind since it has 13 toughness for 4 mana right off the bat and you can increase its toughness even more if it stays on the board. Unhallowed Phalanx offers another high toughness for sac fodder. Serra Ascendant, Kokusho, the Evening Star, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and Exsanguinate are also ways to gain a bunch of life. Angelic Chorus, Proper Burial, Rhox Faithmender, and Cleric Class have potential as well. Heliod's Intervention could be worth running as a removal option.
There are a bunch of options for token production but I thought that I would mention God-Eternal Oketra combined with Kor Skyfisher, Whitemane Lion, and possibly Stonecloaker as well. Oketra has reasonably high toughness and comes back quick if sacrificed for life. 4/4 tokens are good for sacrificing if you need to. The white bounce creatures can be used for repeatedly triggering your extort effects and other cards like Angelic Chorus, Oketra's Monument, and Cathars' Crusade.
Prava of the Steel Legion is another token producer that can pump all your little tokens into high-toughness sac fodder to gain life.

You may want to consider some "mana dorks" for your commander in the way of easy-to-cast, different colored token creatures:
Also, there are some interaction-related convoke spells which are probably worth subbing in over other non-convoke options:
Depending on the direction you want to take, there are some cards which support a swarm strategy:
- Nadir Kraken pairs nicely with your extra card draw, and generates rare blue creature tokens for blue-color convoke mana.
- The Locust God god is nice for continual token gen, and again synergizes with your extra card draw while providing uncommon blue creature tokens.
- Oketra's Monument is nice in decks with a lot of white creatures, like yours, and adds continuous white token generation.
- Seraph of the Masses becomes a huge body that can just delete opponents without flying/reach blockers.
- Sublime Archangel can let swarm decks keep up pressure on opponents, even while you ramp. Throw out a random 8/8 token once per turn or whatever, forcing your opponents to deal with it, and it itself can become huge with Flying.
- Moonshaker Cavalry is basically a white version of Craterhoof Behemoth. One turn swing for the win.
- Massive Raid is a single-target bomb which uses your army of weenies, but doesn't cost much mana.
- Arabella, Abandoned Doll is a great bomb once you have a big board of weenies. Build up like 30 tokens or whatever, swing with Arabella and the swarm, kill the table. Or at a minimum deal a bunch of damage and gain a bunch of life.
- Divine Visitation is a non-bo with Arabella, but the upside is definitely worth it. Upgrade the token army.
- Angelic Aberration is similar but provides one-time additional ETB triggers if you lean into that more.
- Molten Gatekeeper is literally a second Witty Roastmaster but with unearth upside.
- Impact Tremors?? If you're really going that route with other cards, why not?
And here are some misc cards to consider:
- Jeskai Ascendancy can straight up give you free spells. Tap creatures for a convoke non-creature spell, Jes Asc untaps them on cast.
- Kykar, Wind's Fury can let you go mana-positive with non creature spells, which you have a lot of. Also pairs nicely with Quintorius, Loremaster which is on your current list.
- Skullclamp is an obvious draw engine for a token deck.
- Unstoppable Plan gets the weenies (and all others) back online on your opponents' turns, freeing up for instant-convokes or just blockers.
- Narset, Enlightened Exile is a cool way to get extra value from non-creature cards that end up in your graveyard.
- Mentor of the Meek is nice for potentially repeatable card draw in this kind of deck.

Oketra's Monument & Whitemane Lion + any token doubler equals infinite tokens.

Since you're in green, you have some pretty good options for ramp for two mana. Oketra's Monument, Rhonas's Monument, Invasion of Ixalan Flip and Thought Vessel seem to be the weakest. Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Skyshroud Claim are all very solid options that are much harder to remove. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can also make a ton of mana and draw you cards.
Cards that seem weaker:
Wayward Swordtooth: You only run 33 lands, I am not sure how often this is going to trigger. With a lower land count you have a lesser chance of having multiple lands in hand.
Akroma's Will: This may be overkill. A better option may be Return of the Wildspeaker because it can also draw you a lot of cards.
Bite Down and Ram Through: Requires you to have a creature of the board. Something either cheaper or more flexible like Swords to Plowshares or Touch the Spirit Realm can be beneficial.
Boros Charm: Unless you play in a token heavy meta, there may better options like Flawless Maneuver or Tyvar's Stand. Both can protect your commander the turn you get it out for cheap.
Virtue of Strength: This card does say basic land and you do only run 18 in the whole deck. Take a look at Mirari's Wake, or you could run Bala Ged Sanctuary
Flip and another ramp spell for basically the same slots.
Kinjalli's Caller, Knight of the Stampede, Marauding Raptor, Otepec Huntmaster, and Atzocan Seer: These cards are definitely thematic, but I'm not sure if they're all better than Delighted Halfling, Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Bloom Tender, and Sylvan Caryatid. Especially if you're only casting one big dinosaur a turn. Same for Commune with Dinosaurs < Once Upon a Time

Aurelia, the Warleader
1 year ago
Auerlia is one of my favorite commanders. So glad that you are building her. Boros has historically been terrible with ramp and draw, but there's a lot of things you can to now to shore up those problems in these colors.
I'm not sure your budget, but here are some of my recommendation. Ramp: Fellwar Stone, Oketra's Monument, Pearl Medallion or Ruby Medallion, Talisman of Conviction, Land Tax, $Smothering Tithe, and Curse of Opulence. Curse of Opulence is such a fun card to get gold token and insentivize your opponents to attack someone else.
Draw: Aurelia, the Law Above, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Mask of Memory, Faithless Looting. I love running Palantir of Orthanc. Its fun messing with opponents to get the draw or hitting them for lots of damage. I enjoy running wheel cards, but the Aurelia I play is a reanimator deck. So I have no problems with my creatures in the graveyard.
But a big weakness I see is spot removal. You do have boardwipes. They are okay, but sometimes you need to remove one problem permanent instead of resetting the board. I would encourage adding removal for different types of permanents. This is something that Boros excels in.

[Primer] Helming the Host of Heaven *Update*
1 year ago
Perilous_Percival : ditto, it's nice getting a trickle of angel support each set.
Lord_of_Lords : that's definitely a viable strategy. You can also try out Oketra's Monument if you haven't already to get little dudes on every cast. They come with vigilance so you can get some free attacks in while saving for a convoke spell. If you're pumping out enough tokens and have nothing to do with it then I'd also recommend Skullclamp as it's the best equipment draw. I'd take note of if you can reliably get a token producer every game before slotting it in though.

Puro Pinche Party [Primer]

After your comment Profet93, I looked the deck over and decided to make a few updates:
-
Volatile Fault replaced Field of Ruin - Cheaper activation cost & creates a treasure. Demolition Field could also work in this slot.
-
Reconnaissance replaced Oketra's Monument - I've played Reconnaissance for almost 2 years in my Isshin deck, and previously in my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck, so am familiar with how great it can be for aggro strats. I realized most of my White creatures in deck are already fairly inexpensive, and the Warrior token isn't really all that necessary, given Burako's type flexibility.
-
Soul Partition replaced Vanishing Verse - I've been really enjoying Soul Partition in the games I've played it. Offers a lot more flexibility than Vanishing Verse as a removal or protection option.
-
Tymna the Weaver *f-etch* replaced Tenacious Underdog - This slot could change around a bit more, but I figured the repeated draw would be less clunky than paying 4 for Underdog's Blitz cost, and works a bit better now that Reconnaissance is in the deck.
-
Emergence Zone replaced Temple of Silence - More flexibility to mostly play creatures at instant speed if needed, and draw with Folk Hero
. -
Strip Mine replaced Myriad Landscape - Not enough land hate gets played in my metas.
